bang bang bang...

In VTech's test room, Wu Feng was sitting in front of an arcade machine, turning the joystick and pressing buttons continuously, directing the little man on the screen to continuously pull the trigger on his gun and fire red bullets.

Crisp gunshots and intense electronic music kept coming out of the arcade speakers, creating an immersive atmosphere.

The boss, manager, and technical director of VTech were all standing behind and watching.

The three personal bodyguards were scattered throughout the computer room, and from time to time they would glance at the fierce gunfight on the arcade screen. Their faces were expressionless, but their eyes revealed obvious curiosity.

boom!
With the last crisp gunshot, accompanied by the victory fireworks on the arcade screen and the passionate music that indicated the completion of the game, Wu Feng stopped what he was doing.

"Wushi is amazing! He cleared the level in one go!"

The VTech boss showed a surprised expression and exclaimed, "I've fought against them before. It's impossible to penetrate them without wasting a few lives. The enemy's firepower is too strong!"

Wu Feng smiled without saying anything. Isn’t this just nonsense?
With his current physical fitness and nerve reaction speed, if he can't even pass a horizontal shooting arcade game in one go, how can he have the nerve to call himself a kung fu master?
Seeing Wu Feng's unclear attitude, the boss of VTech asked doubtfully, "There's no other shooting game based on the story of 'A Better Tomorrow' on the market. It should be very good!"

In his opinion, it is not just good, it is simply stunning, okay?

At that time, "Contra" had just been released and had not yet spread to Hong Kong Island.

It can be said that the arcade game of "A Better Tomorrow" is the best shooting game he has ever seen and played, especially with the blessing of the movie story, which makes him feel very involved.

“It’s indeed OK!”

Wu Feng nodded in agreement. In 1987, it was definitely a very playable horizontal shooting game.

It's just a black and white picture, and the characters are not very clear, so I don't feel very satisfied.

Of course, the most important thing is that the storyline still needs a lot of improvement.

“Aren’t there too few levels?”

He said bluntly, "There are only two bosses, Tan Cheng and Mr. Yao. If you encounter a stronger arcade master, you can completely clear the level in less than three minutes. That's too short!"

"Then, what do you think, Takeshi, should be done to set up more levels?"

At this point, the technical director in charge of the game's motherboard production and development asked, "The story of A Better Tomorrow is only so long. It's not easy for us to add more plot points!"

"It's very simple!"

Wu Feng said with a smile: "Add the taxi company and the gunfight scene at the counterfeit banknote group's headquarters building, and then increase the difficulty of the level a little bit, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Also, if you choose Brother Xiao Ma, you can also add a separate battle scene at Maple Forest Pavilion!"

The technical director's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, saying, "That's a good idea. We can continue developing it!"

"Takeshi, what about this version of 'A Better Tomorrow' game?"

At this time, the boss of VTech was a little anxious. He pointed at the arcade machine that Wu Feng had just played and asked, "Aren't you going to release it on the market and continue to develop a more complete version?"

"No, this version will be launched on the market first!"

Wu Feng chuckled, naturally understanding the thoughts of the boss of VTech.

After finally seeing the finished product, and it was a pretty good one, people naturally didn't want to waste resources in vain and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After all, developing an arcade game motherboard at that time was still a very costly undertaking.

If Hong Kong Island hadn't been able to recruit talent from around the world and the company itself had a certain amount of technical reserves, it wouldn't have been so easy to develop the arcade shooting game motherboard for "A Better Tomorrow" so quickly. Of course, Wu Feng's previous direct investment of one million yuan did have a significant effect.

At this time, he naturally wanted to see the market feedback of the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade game.

Besides, there was also a little selfish motive: I wanted to dominate the market with the gun-fighting game "A Better Tomorrow" before "Contra" was introduced to Hong Kong Island.

According to his idea, "Contra" must not be the only one that takes the lead!
Seeing the VTech boss's delight, he continued, "We'll just wait until the subsequent versions are developed and sell the motherboard again. Do you think those arcade owners will dare not buy it?"

Zhan: "That's right, that's right!"

The VTech boss nodded repeatedly in agreement and continued, "So, according to Takeshi, when should we release the gun version of 'A Better Tomorrow'?"

"Have you found the motherboard production factory?"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "How much does a gaming motherboard cost?"

“It can only be produced on a small scale!”

Speaking of this, the boss of VTech couldn't help but sigh: "Hong Kong Island's foundation in this area is very weak. It can only be produced by the company's own small factory. The cost of each motherboard is as high as 4,500 Hong Kong dollars!"

"so tall?"

Wu Feng was surprised, but when he saw that the VTech boss just shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't ask any further questions.

However, he had made up his mind to build an arcade motherboard production factory in the mainland.

"How much is that arcade machine?"

He asked curiously, "Is there fifteen thousand?"

"more or less!"

The boss of VTech cheered up and said happily, "Especially arcade games like 'A Better Tomorrow', they're definitely going to sell well here in Hong Kong!"

"Very good, then let's do things according to the contract!"

Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction: "VTech is responsible for production, and I'm responsible for promotion!"

As for the final profit, it is naturally split 50-50.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the one million development funds he invested in advance be wasted?
When Wu Feng came out of VTech, it was already mid-afternoon and not far from evening. He also had to attend the movie premiere organized by Liang Kun.

Fortunately, things were not difficult. He brought back several arcade machines with installed "A Better Tomorrow" game motherboards and immediately called over his three top subordinates.

By the time the three big guys arrived, the arcade machines were already packed with game-loving kids. The crisp bangs of gunfire and the pulsating electronic music were too much to notice.

"Take these arcade machines away and send them to the game hall below your territory!"

Wu Feng ordered, "This is a shooting game based on the story of A Better Tomorrow. I've invested quite a bit of money in it, so remember to observe the situation carefully!"

"By the way, these arcade machines are 15,000 each, remember to ask the arcade owner to pay!"

After explaining all this, seeing that the time was almost up, he took his rotating team of three bodyguards and his eight equally rotated close bodyguards and left in three vans.
